BF2S Forums Monitor/TV combo

If it doesn't bother you re: any cosmetic wear then I can't see a problem, BUT you'd best off asking one of the techs on here though as some of them repair monitors for a job, so they'll be the experts on exactly what's replaced and what to be wary of.

I know nothing about tv tuners in a PC but I'd imagine you could easily record programs, and it would be significantly cheaper and take up less room than two monitors.

This one says 1080i and seems to be work on 64bit win 7..

@Jaek: I'm going to run 2 monitors regardless.

That'd be a pretty sweet card then. See if there's some sort of scheduling software you can run, like a DVR. Does it come with a remote as well? (probably).

I'd prefer PCIE rather than USB.

I don't think I want to spend that much. I don't watch much TV, I just want to watch the game occasionally while playing a game or something. Which if it requires system resources probably isn't a great idea.

I'll probably go just straight into the monitor/TV.

What do you think out of the top two I linked, Alex?

ordering that in about 30 minutes unless anyone has any objections

In my opinion, the Samsung P2370HD; it has a higher contrast ratio.

It has a higher dynamic contrast ratio which means absolutely nothing given that both are high.  Actual contrast ratios, which are what matter, are the same.

Regardless, go with the P2370HD for the fact that you get native Full HD resolution.

I'll let you know how it looks matty.

I haven't read the thread, so if you haven't decided:

Take my advice and buy a wall-mounted TV. I'm willing to bet that you can easily find space for one of those, and then you can bypass all the problems associated with getting a computer monitor to work with legacy AV inputs.

Probably should have read the thread (or the OP)

I need a second monitor regardless. I have 3 screens currently sitting on my desk (2 monitors, laptop), a 4th above them is not only ridiculous, but not cost efficient.

I agree too. Not a great difference between that and the 2333HD but if you've got the money I'd go with the P2370HD, simply for the extra features and in 6 months time you'll think back on it and be happy you got the best you could afford.
